Service
As of 2011, Princeton Junction was the 5th busiest station in the NJT rail system, with an average of 6,826 weekday boardings. In addition to the Northeast Corridor Line, NJT operates a 2.8-mile (4.51-km) spur line, the Princeton Branch to Princeton Station located at the Princeton University campus in Princeton. The shuttle is colloquially known as the "Dinky", and has also been known as the "PJ&B" (for "Princeton Junction and Back"). Two train cars, or sometimes just one, are used. A single switch connects the branch to the Northeast Corridor tracks north of the station.
Amtrak provides 2 early-morning trains to Washington, D.C., and 2 evening returns, as well as 1 morning train to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and 1 evening return, all of which call at Philadelphia. Many more Amtrak trains stop at nearby Trenton.
